Choosing Your Next Water Heater.

If you own a business your choice of a water heater is critical.  How it performs and for how long will affect your bottom line.  Don’t just rush into this decision and choose the cheapest without considering what type of performance you need from it.  It is the classic example of “penny wise and pound foolish”.

One of the main problems is that because we don’t live in that world we just think that one brand of water heater is as good as another.  Maybe we feel whatever works in our home will be just the right fit for our business.  The difference between one that is guaranteed for six years and one that has a twelve-year warranty may be negligible.

Don’t just fall in love with the first water heater that you research.  Contact Charlotte, NC commercial water heater expert Repairing America.  They have had many years to do the research for you.  By inspecting your business area they will recommend the right water heater for the job.  Call them today at (704) 532-5653.

Preventing Backflow into Your Home or Business.

Backflow occurs when water that has already entered a facility flows back into the public water system.  A cross-connection is a point in a plumbing system where drinking water becomes directly connected to water that is unfit for drinking. 

There are two causes of backflow.  One is called backsiphonage, while the other is back pressure.  Backsiphonage is the reverse flow of water due to negative pressure.  This occurs when water mains experience a sudden drop in pressure.  Back pressure may occur when a heating system or elevated tank creates a bulge in your plumbing that exceeds water pressure.

If a backflow situation ever rears its ugly head, you have a friend in Charlotte, NC that can handle the problem efficiently and inexpensively.  Trust the professionals at RepairingAmerica.com.  They are on call 24/7 to help you solve that backflow nightmare.  Keep their number handy for all home or commercial plumbing problems in the Charlotte area (704) 532-5653.

A New Year’s Resolution for your Home.

Some examples might be worn out sinks and shower stalls.  Perhaps you or a guest has noticed that there is tile work that needs doing.  Windows and trim may need extra winter proofing at this time of year.  This is also a great time to fix up the inside of your garage when repairs to the outside of your home may be too challenging for the winter weather.

Signs of Electrical Problems in Your Home.

Getting energy ready for winter.

Let’s get ready for the colder weather ahead by following some home winterizing tips that may be best handled by a professional.  It is always advisable to install weather-stripping and do some caulking to cut down dramatically on wasted energy and reduce your heating bills.  If a home is improperly sealed it can increase your home heating bill by 15% or more.

Every duct, wire or pipe that penetrates the wall or ceiling or floor has the potential to waste energy.  Have them sealed with caulking and weather-stripping.  And, of course get a routine maintenance and inspection of your heating system each autumn to make sure it is in good working order.

There are many more items than time allows to double check before winter hits with full force.  To be sure you are ready for the season ahead contact the experts in the Charlotte NC area RepairingAmerica.com.  They will leave no stone unturned in getting your castle ready for old man winter.  Call RepairingAmerica.com today at (704) 532-5653.
